Yesterday was the start of British Science Week . There are 18 species of bats in the UK, making up 1/4 of our mammal species. Despite this, there are still significant knowledge gaps. Bat Conservation Trust is committed to ensuring scientific evidence is in place to further bat conservation! .

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay ! We are lucky enough to have 18 species of bat in the UK, 17 of which are known to be breeding here - that's almost a quarter of our mammal species. . Every summer, thousands of people venture out to experience the wonder of bats in their natural environment. Sadly, bat populations have suffered severe declines during the past century, but the Bat Conservation Trust and more than 80 local bat groups are working hard to help our bats hang on. . . Link in our bio to donate if you can.

March is here! Bats may begin to emerge and signs of limited activity can be seen. There are small numbers feeding as it gets warmer. In bad weather, they may become torpid. . . #bats #LoveBats #SpringIsComing

A thumbs up for the weekend! . . Did you know bats were this small? And yes, this is a full adult! It is a Kuhl’s pipistrelle which is not a resident UK bat species but it is an occasional vagrant. . . #FridayFeeling #bats #FriYay #LoveBats
